"Interesting not many birds first 30 minutes of legal, then it was on,"

Thats the way its been the last 3 years in Throckmortan. A new hunter could get worried he's been had again those first 30 minutes....but patience my boy...just be patient and they will come!

This am was slow. Front pushed birds around. Hopefully they Will group back up following
the front

I was out looking this morning and didn't see much moving. Hopefully a few push in before the weekend. Had birds yesterday morning but seems some pushed out with this front.

Hunted west of Haskell near Old Glory. Plenty of birds 5 of us got limits Friday and Saturday. No sunflowers just dirt and grass.
Most birds were in and out of the trees. Mojo's worked great! Shot several trying to land in them.

It was a miss for me in Leonard. Again, we didn't have the right crops either. Nothing beats wheat and Sunflower, then Milo...

This is a FYI. I ranch just west of Corsicana and see the fields most every day. We had a bunch of larger mourning dove come in this afternoon. By far the most of the season. These are the type of birds we normally see in October. Almost all were flying North into the wind. I did not hear one shot this evening.

South Young county sucked bad because young birds are still in the nest will get a lot better in a few weeks..........

I am hoping for more northerns to come in this week and stick around a bit as temps get back closer to normal (Palo Pinto County) Otherwise has been fairly slow. Of the of the 40 or so hunters in our field, only about half showed up opening day due to the gas "crisis" in DFW. I have been out 5 times over the last week and was solo or one or two other guys that showed up. Our field is part of a larger 250 acre field so the birds just fly in nowhere close.

We got limits again over the weekend. Doves are abundant but they seem jitterish (is that a word lol) . We killed a few large body birds that seemed like northerns.

I saw only a few birds south of DFW this weekend, all out of range though. Unfortunately it only looks like it's getting warmer this week.

Headed to Aspermont this weekend, hope it doesn't suck to bad.

Dove hunting just south of Graford has been very slow for us. Has anyone in that area had any large numbers or even far numbers of birds flying?

Any input on the outlook for that area would be appreciated as well?

I had decreasing quality hunts in Matagorda County. Mostly Eurasian. Skeeters were fierce.
16 Saturday, 14 Sunday then the next Saturday 4.
